This camera features a rather different copper-coloured faceplate, behind which lies a snapshot camera with electronic flash, all powered by a PP3 battery. A variation of this model with a red front panel, shown below, was sold by J.C. Penney. Although the published marketing dates for the 3100 model are 1984-87, the camerosity date code in this example translates as 12-83. Maybe J.C. Penney had this model before it was released for general sale.
